Having worked with many different contractors, I was reluctant to hire someone new based on past…read moreexperiences but let me just say, I had a great experience working with Eddie and his team. He was responsive and very knowledgeable. There was a leak coming from the roof, instead of telling us that the roof needed to be replaced (like many other companies did) he was able to identify that our chimney flashing had failed. He said they don't normally do smaller repairs but he was willing to help. They got the job done and it's been 7 months without any signs of a leak. We were also getting a horrible draft in our sunroom we figured it was just not insulated properly but upon speaking to Eddie, he quickly identified that our windows were compromised and we were loosing money on energy costs. His crew was done with the install in one day. They were clean, professional and Eddie was there to ensure that the quality of work was up to par. We will definitely be using them again.

We had Chicago Roofing Solutions out to replace our roof. At the first rain after the…read moreinstallation, a leak developed in the wall immediately under the new roof. When they came back out, they said it wasn't their fault and I'd need to pay for a contractor to come out, open the wall and determine the leak. Two independent contractors identified it was because Chicago Roofing Solutions didn't properly seal the new roof to the scupper box, resulting in thousands of dollars of damage. They refuse to reimburse for the damage, actually gaslighted me saying it was my fault for bringing in a contractor and stopped responding when trying to discuss the situation. They were fine until something went wrong and then it cost me thousands for their mistake.

We contact Chicago Roofing Solutions to come out for an inspection and fix any issues. We were…read moregiven a price, and then they found various problems. So we paid them to fix all the issues. One of the things they did was tale the flat roof coping off to put a membrane under. It seems simple enough; coping comes off, then goes back on. This was 2/23/24 (winter in Chicago). Fast forward, I noticed moisture behind my walls in the area where they worked. I contacted them to come out, which they did on 7/23. They wouldn't bother to get on the roof to look and said, if you don't have water damage on the ceiling, it's not the roof- and they left without looking at it. You could see the coping was pushed back from the ground, not covering the entire parapet wall. I was told it was fine. A few weeks later, I started to have black mold and yellow water damage staining on my ceiling, where they removed the coping. I called again and related I have water damage on the ceiling now. They came out, and this time, they went on the roof. I again mentioned that the copings looked like they were set back further than they were, and it looked like the face brick was exposed. I was told again that it's not the roof, that everything is fine, and that I should contact a general contractor because it's not the roof. After he talked at me, giving me a bunch of stupid reasons it's not the roof, I asked him to leave. He proceeded to call my husband to see if he wanted to talk about it. Maybe if a man had pointed out the coping, he would have acknowledged it. So, I contacted two other roofers and only told them someone was out to do work. Now I have mold and water damage. BOTH of the other roofers said that the coping was NOT installed properly and was sitting too far back, allowing water to get in between the coping and the face stone. After the shit job they did, feeling disrespected as a woman, and their flat refusal to admit they made a mistake, I wouldn't even think of letting them do work on my home. I'm paying someone else $2000 to fix the coping, and then I have moldy drywall to replace and paint.

DO NOT USE - Unreliable Roofing Contractor - Nightmare!…read more We hired Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. in June 2022 to repair the roof of our condo building and build a new deck on top of it. Unfortunately, our experience with them was a nightmare, and we feel compelled to share it with others to prevent anyone else from going through the same ordeal. First and foremost, the contractor used incorrect materials while building the deck. To add insult to injury, they charged us for more expensive materials than they actually used, displaying a complete lack of integrity and transparency. We mutually agreed with the contractor in advance in writing that the roof deck would be built with "Trex Transcend" composite decking in Rope Swing color; the contractor, however, built our roof deck with "Trex Enhance G2 Grooved" composite decking in Foggy Wharf color, a material of much lesser quality that is already breaking in some areas. To make matters worse, the deck construction was carried out in a way that now leaves our roof in violation of building codes. Not only did they fail to adhere to regulations, but they also neglected to inform us of these potential issues during the process, and when we let them know that their work was out of code, they did not apologize, would not fix their work to align with code, and blamed it on us when they are the experts. Furthermore, upon inspection by independent experts, it was determined that the roof deck framing is not structurally sound. We were advised that (a) there are narrow pieces of wood supporting the west side of the roof deck, which do not align with standards of practice in the industry and will pierce the roof's membrane as weight is applied, (2) the roof substructure was laid incorrectly, preventing the free flow of water to the scuppers, and (3) already, various portions of the roof deck are loose and detached from the frame, making the roof deck unsafe to walk on. This poses a substantial risk to the safety of those in our building and our guests. Throughout the project, communication was very difficult and minimal, and they showed little to no concern for our satisfaction or the quality of their work. When we raised our concerns, they were dismissive and unresponsive, leaving us feeling frustrated and deceived. We strongly advise anyone considering hiring Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. to NOT HIRE THEM. Their unprofessionalism, lack of expertise, and disregard for customer satisfaction have left us with a costly and dangerous mess to clean up, including having to re-do all of the work. On top of that, we reached out for a refund, and they would not comply or even respond to us despite their defective, fraudulent and grossly negligent acts and omissions, and we will need to re-perform the work with a new vendor. Please learn from our unfortunate experience and look for a reputable and trustworthy contractor to handle your roofing and deck projects who is NOT Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. Don't let yourself fall victim to the same nightmare we endured.

Once the work started, David and his team found additional leaks that could have caused much bigger problems if they hadn't been repaired. They fixed everything, removed and rebuilt our rooftop wood deck to access the leak, and completed the entire project in just two days. The crew was professional, polite, and left everything clean. David was great to work with; he communicated throughout the project and kept us informed every step of the way. The project ended up being a lot more extensive than originally expected, but the quality of the work was excellent. I'd definitely recommend Nicolas Roofing & Tuckpointing if you're looking for a reliable roofing company.

The work started promptly. The crew was hardworking and conscientious and greatly exceeded my expectations. When they were done I had a beautiful new roof. Cleanup was done especially well. Once work started, crews were on-site until timely completion. When there was the threat of rain, exposed areas were covered. The price was a little more than others charge, but given that they have been in business for many years, the quality of work performed, the quality of the materials used and the warranty provided, it was worth the small premium. The company communicated with me every step of the way and shared pictures of trouble areas, progress, and completion.
